CVS EDI

For new suppliers, CVS EDI compliance, typically requires an established, working relationship with a VAN before business can begin. In order to eliminate unnecessary steps on both ends, CVS requires assurance you are set up with your VAN before sending purchase orders. VANs translate orders from CVS EDI into a legible format for your EDI order management system.

“Having the ability to bring EDI trading partner orders into Acctivate automatically with the EDI module has virtually eliminated the potential for error and has greatly streamlined and improved our performance with some of our most valuable accounts.”

CVS & Your EDI Order Management System

Acctivate as an EDI order management system reduces data re-entry, easily manages complex and abundant orders, quickly imports orders, and monitors picking, packing and shipping seamlessly. Through an EDI order management system, your business can manage financial data, pinpoint where to reduce costs, and improve trading partner relationships.

CVS uses EDI, like most big box stores, to dramatically cut costs and allow suppliers more power to profit from the partnership. An EDI order management system provides small businesses with the same benefits, automation and profitability enhancements. The primary benefits of an EDI order management system are found in three areas: capturing EDI data; automating routine tasks; and managing inventory and fulfillment operations.

CVS EDI & Data Entry

Once your business is set up with an EDI order management system like Acctivate, the benefits and positive effects to your operations will be almost instant. Acctivate’s EDI manager works directly with your VAN to maintain all data exchanged between CVS’s EDI system and your system in one place.

Orders, ASNs, invoices and other EDI documents are viewable upon opening the Acctivate EDI manager. With purchase orders automatically imported into Acctivate, your business will experience the ease of nearly eliminated data re-entry, preventing most errors and mistakes. Your Acctivate EDI manager alerts you to any changes or updates coming from CVS to avoid chargebacks and promote accuracy. With one click, you can process and send ASNs and invoices directly to CVS.

“Just the accuracy of data entry has improved, as well, because information is coming straight from our customers direct to Acctivate whereas we were hand keying it in so there’s room for error for that—pricing and all of that.

You could obviously incur a chargeback with any errors. Also, having to go back and fix it or trying to figure out what item code it is caused lag time. Acctivate and TrueCommerce have definitely helped with that by auto populating data.”
